By Sylvie Heasman

I'm influenced by the ocean in my designs. I have a need to draw.. it's crazy but I can only go a few days without drawing and then I get the urge so strongly that I just have to sit down and draw something.... I LIVE

Description:

I dyed the fabric. I painted and dyed and crackled the pictures. I then photographed them all and cut and pasted till I created this Quilt.

The Repeat size is 38 inches by 31.7 inches. This enables you to buy say 5 yards of fabric cut it in half and match/sew the design together at that 38 inch limit, making a cover about 76 inches or about 1.9 meters wide and 2.28 meters long.

This design belongs to Sylvie Heasman. If you want to see a clearer version click on the Collection Name under the word 'Collection' in the left hand column. If you'd like me to design something for you, change a colour, change the size of this design, ask me anything, click on this

I've tweaked this a bit and I'm going to centre it. It now has a boarder all around it that can be played with, and if two are bought they can be joined to make a larger quilt top. :-)

So nice of you to say so Deborah! I made the big squares of batik in a class I taught in Mexico. It was fun to teach and great to have the blocks when I finished. :-) Thanks for taking time to visit my library/shop...

Well, if I didn't already know you lived on a boat, that is what I would think when I visit your shop, Sylvie. I visited your shop this morning and was struck by the lushness of your designs as they unrolled before me (we have a slow Internet connection . . . ha!) and the watery beauty. This cheater quilt in particular picks up on the ocean theme well. The batik crackles are as if the ocean ripples have been reproduced into the design. Well done.
